Happy belated Valentine's

Scans of all the pictures I did for my friends~

A Game of Shadows

So took to venturing some more into graphic design and I had a lot of fun with our final, which was making up a movie campaign. I chose to work with Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and here are my posters and billboards :

still alive!

Been having a busy year... children coming and going from the daycare and I'm still going to school and learning what I can. Took a fashion sketching class this semester and here are some of my favorite pieces:

dressing up my characters, Sera and Demi (left to right):

 drawing fur and lace

 drawing trenchcoats

Illustrator practice

Using a couple of my characters to practice working in Illustrator. Tried doing one in a cell-type style and the other in a more flat colored style.

Environment

Project for Illustration class. First time trying a sunset scene with tons of lighting, so I'm pleased with how it's turned out

Resting

Just taking a break and keeping things simple

Margaret Griffith Ackerman

GX doodles

Some small things I did while learning and practicing in Paint Tool SAI, drawing my two favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! GX characters while experimenting with different tools. Definitely loved the pastel brush best.

Caricatures are interesting things.....

AI stuff

Found my Illustrator files from my graphic design class last semester! These are from my favorite project, which was to create art from letters using only a max of 4 different letters for each image. The images also had to project the idea of specific words assigned and mine were speed, tension and structure.

Right now I'm trying to do something cute for myself in between school work. Here's a WIP of what I did today

Return to Blogger

Long absence ends now~ It's been too long since I've posted, but I also find it a little hard deciding what to share as I have not been entirely satisfied with my stuff as of late. Well, I'm still learning, so I guess I'll just try to post regularly and hopefully watching my progress will encourage me more. Below are my latest digital drawings and a group of recent sketches of a new character I just started drawing

                                                   

Anime Expo Aftermath and Class

Well... this last month has been rather hectic. I had an artist alley table at the Anime Expo with my good friend, Ka-chan and we sold scarves, prints and stickers. I unfortunately was unable to complete pins to sell, but looks like Ka-chan might get us another table for the Pacific Media Expo (PMX) later this year. here's some of the stickers and prints I had this weekend :

LOTS and LOTS of sticker designs. But, people liked them and things went pretty well. Even did a couple of sticker commissions while I was there. Had a great neighbor too, and good roommates at the hotel, so it was a pretty good weekend overall.

Also been having fun in the perspective summer workshop I've signed up for. Here's some of the thumbnails I've done for the 1 point perspective assignment, along with a first cleanup I've got so far. 

Gonna work on tonal studies now and start thumbnails for the 2 point perspective assignment now.

I live~

Huh... well I got somehow locked outta my blog for a bit... reset the password and all but it only finally let me log in now.... weird. Anyhow, finally started a tumblr after some persuasion from some friends:  
http://nightglimmer.tumblr.com/

Probably some of the same stuff as here along with some other things.

Either way, finally stopped being lazy and scanned a LOT of sketches out of my last two sketchbooks, (mostly Triados-related stuff, though. Got a couple of random sketches in there too), Here's a few of my personal favs:

I like Maggie and Kael a lot... especially as kids, they are just so cute together <3

 I had a small phase where I drew numerous "chibi" versions of me and my friends' Triados characters. Put them together here to share~

 Drew Lily and Jonathon in a slightly less anime style... I just like how they came out, particularly Jonathon.

 Jonathon, being lively as usual

Just a color test I did with a sketch of Kael. I liked how it looks with just the shadows colored in.

 And finally, a young Kiya with a Hannari Tofu pillow. I love those things to no end, got a nice collection of them on my bed to prove it, too. :3
